2021-03-15Documentation/features: mark BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH doesn't apply to ARM64Barry Song2-1/+2
BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH is used on x86 to do batched tlb shootdown by sending one IPI to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages rather than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. On arm64, tlb shootdown is done by hardware. Flush instructions are innershareable. The local flushes are limited to the boot (1 per CPU) and when a task is getting a new ASID. So marking this feature as "TODO" is not proper. ".." isn't good as well. So this patch adds a "N/A" for this kind of features which are not needed on some architectures.

2020-12-03scripts: get_feat.pl: use its implementation for list-arch.shMauro Carvalho Chehab1-15/+2
Add support for the same output format as the bash script, and use its implementation instead of the previous one. I opted to do such patch in order to have a single script responsible for parsing Documentation/features and produce different outputs. As someone may rely on the past format, which is easy to parse it, get_feat.pl now gains a new command with the same output format as the previous script. As a side effect, the perl script is a lot faster, as it reads each file only once, instead of parsing files several times via a for command and grep commands inside it. This patch also changes the features list order to be case-insensitive, in order to better match the output of the existing script.

2020-10-30timekeeping: default GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS to enabledArnd Bergmann1-3/+3
Almost all machines use GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, so it feels wrong to require each one to select that symbol manually. Instead, enable it whenever CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK is disabled as a simplification. It should be possible to select both GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and LEGACY_TIMER_TICK from an architecture now and decide at runtime between the two. For the clockevents arch-support.txt file, this means that additional architectures are marked as TODO when they have at least one machine that still uses LEGACY_TIMER_TICK, rather than being marked 'ok' when at least one machine has been converted. This means that both m68k and arm (for riscpc) revert to TODO. At this point, we could just always enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS rather than leaving it off when not needed. I built an m68k defconfig kernel (using gcc-10.1.0) and found that this would add around 5.5KB in kernel image size: text data bss dec hex filename 3861936 1092236 196656 5150828 4e986c obj-m68k/vmlinux-no-clockevent 3866201 1093832 196184 5156217 4ead79 obj-m68k/vmlinux-clockevent On Arm (MACH_RPC), that difference appears to be twice as large, around 11KB on top of an 6MB vmlinux.

2020-09-14s390/pci: Implement ioremap_wc/prot() with MIONiklas Schnelle1-1/+1
With our current support for the new MIO PCI instructions, write combining/write back MMIO memory can be obtained via the pci_iomap_wc() and pci_iomap_wc_range() functions. This is achieved by using the write back address for a specific bar as provided in clp_store_query_pci_fn() These functions are however not widely used and instead drivers often rely on ioremap_wc() and ioremap_prot(), which on other platforms enable write combining using a PTE flag set through the pgrprot value. While we do not have a write combining flag in the low order flag bits of the PTE like x86_64 does, with MIO support, there is a write back bit in the physical address (bit 1 on z15) and thus also the PTE. Which bit is used to toggle write back and whether it is available at all, is however not fixed in the architecture. Instead we get this information from the CLP Store Logical Processor Characteristics for PCI command. When the write back bit is not provided we fall back to the existing behavior.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: - Add support for (optionally) using queued spinlocks & rwlocks. - Support for a new faster system call ABI using the scv instruction on Power9 or later. - Drop support for the PROT_SAO mmap/mprotect flag as it will be unsupported on Power10 and future processors, leaving us with no way to implement the functionality it requests. This risks breaking userspace, though we believe it is unused in practice. - A bug fix for, and then the removal of, our custom stack expansion checking. We now allow stack expansion up to the rlimit, like other architectures. - Remove the remnants of our (previously disabled) topology update code, which tried to react to NUMA layout changes on virtualised systems, but was prone to crashes and other problems. - Add PMU support for Power10 CPUs. - A change to our signal trampoline so that we don't unbalance the link stack (branch return predictor) in the signal delivery path. - Lots of other cleanups, refactorings, smaller features and so on as usual.

2020-06-04mm/debug: add tests validating architecture page table helpersAnshuman Khandual1-0/+34
This adds tests which will validate architecture page table helpers and other accessors in their compliance with expected generic MM semantics. This will help various architectures in validating changes to existing page table helpers or addition of new ones. This test covers basic page table entry transformations including but not limited to old, young, dirty, clean, write, write protect etc at various level along with populating intermediate entries with next page table page and validating them. Test page table pages are allocated from system memory with required size and alignments. The mapped pfns at page table levels are derived from a real pfn representing a valid kernel text symbol. This test gets called via late_initcall(). This test gets built and run when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE is selected. Any architecture, which is willing to subscribe this test will need to select ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. For now this is limited to arc, arm64, x86, s390 and powerpc platforms where the test is known to build and run successfully Going forward, other architectures too can subscribe the test after fixing any build or runtime problems with their page table helpers. Folks interested in making sure that a given platform's page table helpers conform to expected generic MM semantics should enable the above config which will just trigger this test during boot. Any non conformity here will be reported as an warning which would need to be fixed. This test will help catch any changes to the agreed upon semantics expected from generic MM and enable platforms to accommodate it thereafter.

2020-06-03mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP optionMike Rapoport1-34/+0
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node mapping in memblock and those that don't. Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and therefore the compile time configuration option is not required. The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes. Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the entire compatibility layer can be dropped. To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.
